Flagstaff declares war on homeless people!
City bans sleeping in car while on public street
FLAGSTAFF - Sleeping in a car parked on a public street is now illegal in Flagstaff.
The ban, approved by the City Council in a 4-3 vote Tuesday, is intended to stop homeless people from camping out on public property anywhere inside city limits.
Supporters said police need the new ordinance to combat vagrancy, while opponents think it's too broad and could make being homeless a crime.
"The net we are casting is so wide, it brings in a group of people who should not be here. It casts a net over those poor working families," said Councilman Art Babbott, who opposed the change.
